Purpose of DARH 2015
The 18th Eurobot Open Competition (Final round of the European robotic competitions, following national Cups held in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Serbia, Spain, Switzerland, etc.) will be organized in May 2015 in the town of Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland; for the third time in Switzerland, after Rapperswil in 2010, and Yverdon-les-Bains in 2005.
In continuation with past years, the participation of about 50 teams is expected, gathering from more than 20 countries, including at most the 3 best teams of each nation, coming from Europe or from the rest of the world (www.eurobot.org).
During this competition, the 2nd International Conference (and 3rd Workshop) on Dextrous Autonomous Robots and Humanoids is also planned, as well as the 6th international conference on Robotics in Education, RIE 2015, in full synergy with robotic competitions, Cyberbotics web-based Humanoid Competitions, and some other extraordinary local Art, Science and Technology events.
The DARH 2015 Conference aims at exchanging expertise in the currently most advanced scientific and technological issues relating to the field, with the focus to foster innovation and the improvement of current best practices. It will be mostly hosted at the Western Switzerland University of Applied Sciences and Arts, also in Yverdon-les-Bains.
Beside regular papers and a poster session, the Conferences will include Keynote presentations, Highlight Lectures open to the public, as well as a Workshop where experimental verification and hands-on education will be conducted.
